September 5, 1956. The whistle of a turbine echoes across the BonnevilleSalt Flats in Utah, USA.
The sound issues from a singular-looking blue vehicle,Renault’s Étoile Filante (Shooting Star).
Developer Jean Hébert takes to the wheel for the vehicle’s first outdoor run, after two years of wind-tunneltesting.
Several minutes later the Étoile Filante sets a new land speed record, peaking at 308.85 km/h.
The Étoile Filante used a powerful turbineengine developing 270hp at 28,000 rpm and featured a tubular, polyester-cladbody and two large aircraft-like fins.
It was equipped with the Transfluide transmission that would later be used on the Frégates.
